Designated the Society's second highest award, the Gregson Leadership Award is presented to members for particularly outstanding service and dedication to the Society and the profession. The symbol of this award, a tie made in the tartan plaid of Founder Wilfred J. Gregson's Scottish ancestors, is given to the recipients. No specific number of these awards is made, and it varies from year to year as judged, to service rendered. The award, originally known as The Gregson Award, was established in 1960, and was first presented at the SARA Convention in Dallas, Texas.
In the Winter 1987 Issue of SARA's Magazine "Practicing Architect" Wilfred Gregson, FARA wrote in his "Founders Corner Column"� "Your SARA Founder is also Deputy Chieftan of the Clan McGregor Society in the U.S. At every SARA Convention I give one or more McGregor ties together with the Gregson Award to those who have worked hardest for SARA. It was started to bring some laughter to the assembly after several days of serious discussion. Now, with over 50 McGregor ties shining out their flaming colors it has become a badge of honor and distinction. The ties are presented in a handsome box, which I ask to be returned, saying there is no money in the budget for new boxes. For my part, I always wear the tartan tie of the clan. When awarding the tie, I say that it must be worn at all SARA functions. If I am ever in a fight, all fellow clansmen must come and join the fight. When we have won, which we always do, it is improper to ask what we are fighting for as we are always on the right side�
Following Wilfred's passing, July 8, 1998 (3 days after his 98th Birthday) the award was renamed the Gregson Leadership Award.
